KEBNEKAISE II

Traditional Swedish folk-prog with some very fresh and unique song writing. KEBNEKAISE mix a nice array of instruments to work each song to a different mood and atmosphere. You can clearly hear the folk roots, but it is the psych/prog branches which makes this such a memorable album for this music lover. In some ways the sound is not unlike mid period PINK FLOYD and FOCUS really. Instruments used throughout include guitar, violin, congas, drums, bass and a nice assortment of other gadgets. Songs are generally quite long and instrumental and are given lots of space to unwind and get into some pretty warped folk-prog interludes. Overall this is a picture perfect album with real beauty and charm and is clearly one of my personal fav's from the lovely Swedish 70's. I would say 100% essential.
